This is a good pairing. On one hand you have "Drive" - a generic action/hero plot-line told in a masterful, subdued, and saturated way; on the other hand you have "Moon" - a sparse, mindbender that takes cues from 2001 and others to make one question certain moralities. I think that the lead actor's performances need to be the decider and in that case Sam Rockwell wins even if it was by a razor thin margin. Moon for the win

Two of the better movies of the past few years. Fantastic matchup.

Drive...all day over Moon.

Two very acclaimed movies that I fell short of loving. In both, I really appreciate the great acting, but somehow found myself short of actually enjoying the films themselves. Incidentally, I happen to have just finished watching Drive for the first time, and saw Moon for the first time only about a week ago. Perhaps a little more time and space from these will clear my perspective a bit...
